We are in the final stages of planning for WhippleFest this year and hope to be able to provide full details in early July.

This year's WhippleFest coincides with my sister Elaine Whipple West's 100th birthday and will be held Aug. 7 at Palisades State Park in Mount Vernon, Iowa where she lives. Her birthday is Aug. 6.

We will be selling T-shirts and the attachment includes three possible designs. I would appreciate your vote on which design you prefer -- regardless of your intention to buy one.

Once the design is determined I will order the shirts and for those interested in acquiring one, advise me of your size(s). Mens, Womens, and Kids all come in Small, Medium, and Large. The cost is yet to be determined because it is based on the size of the order The shirts will be sold at cost. Individuals not attending but interested in acquiring a shirt are welcome to place orders.

It would be greatly appreciated if you would respond to this request before July 4. Thank you for your help.
